HARKEN YACHT FITTINGS Unit 3 Web-on Head Swivel - Cable-less Code Zero
The Harken Reflex furling system represents a significant advancement in free-flying sail furling technology. The patented Reflex system provides sailors with confidence that their code zero sails will furl completely with speed and control. The Unit 3 Web-on Head Swivel is an essential component that enables this superior performance.
When the furling line is pulled, the compact drive unit reacts reflexively to rotate the torsion cable, immediately transferring torque to the head. The head swivel then reacts instantly, spinning from top to bottom where perfect furls must start. This rapid response ensures consistent, reliable sail furling in all conditions.
Reflex furling's innovative design requires much less luff tension to transfer torque than earlier furling technology, making it the perfect solution for today's cable-less code sail applications. These modern sails require approximately half the luff loads previously required, reducing stress on the rig and improving overall sailing performance.
The quick release geometry of Reflex furling allows crews to use multiple sails with the same bottom unit, enhancing versatility and reducing the need for duplicate equipment. This design philosophy combines ease of use with professional-grade reliability.
